Josh Noll and Aidan Clements Transferring From Auburn To Division II Powerhouse Tampa

The University of Tampa will gain transfers Josh Noll and Aidan Clements for the upcoming 2025-2026 season. Both men join after previously spending time at Auburn.

An Illinois native, Noll joins the team after spending two season at Auburn. He finished his season a the last chance meet posting a lifetime best 1:43.40 in the 200 backstroke as well as a season best 1:35.81 in the 200 free.

Noll’s Best SCY Times:

  • 200 free: 1:35.51
  • 100 back: 47.92
  • 200 back: 1:43.40
  • 200 fly: 1:46.63

Noll is a big pick up for the Tampa men as his 200 free time would have been #4 on the roster this past season. It also would have been #7 at 2025 NCAAs, an event in which the team had three ‘A’ finalists in including Jacob Hamlin who won in a 1:33.38. Noll’s 200 back would have also made the NCAA ‘A’ final, finishing 6th. His 100 back and 200 fly best times would have made the NCAA ‘B’ finals.

Clements will return to his home state after spending one season at Auburn. He has three years of eligibility remaining.

Clements swam one season with Auburn and finished his season at the first and last chance meets. He swam a season best 1:37.41 in the 200 free at the First Chance meet.

Clements’ Best SCY Times:

  • 200 free: 1:37.36
  • 500 free: 4:27.91
  • 200 fly: 1:48.48

Clements also would already score at Division II NCAAs as it took a 4:27.12 to earn a 2nd swim in the 500 free. He also is not far off what it took to make the Division II ‘B’ final in the 200 free as it took a 1:36.60 and a 1:46.94 in the 200 fly.

The Tampa men won their first NCAA Championship in 2024 and finished 2nd at 2025 NCAAs last month, about 75 points behind Drury. Jacob Hamlin led the way for Tampa, setting new NCAA records in the 500 free, 1000 free, 1650 free, and being a member of the record setting 800 free relay.

There have been multiple articles recently about transfers from Auburn to name-your-school. What’s up with that? Maybe nothing? Coincidence?

They had a massive roster and had to make lots of cuts. They had to basically cut the men’s team in half. I don’t really think there’s much mystery to it.

“I don’t think there’s much mystery to it.” Hmm, are you angry or just aggressive type person? The sentence doesn’t have much substance other than to create filler for whatever reason. In this case, to show emotion? Next time, all that’s needed were your first two sentences.

Their men also didn’t score at NCAAs and their women got 9th at SECs…maybe we should be lowering our expectations

These big additions to Tampa men’s roster will definitely help out on the scoring side as many men look to step up on the team after a big senior class leaves, BUT DONT YOU WORRY TAMPA SPARATANS WILL SOARRRR PAST DRURY AND WIN THE 2026 NATTY CHAMPIONSHIP🛡️⚔️

The trickle down effect has begun but glad these swimmers have been able to find new homes

If only the trickle down effect worked as well in economics.

God has been guiding plenty of swimmers away from varsity teams lately. Mysterious ways.
